seriously, it is way beyond what I expected for a solo sax album. It is also far greater than Outland, at least upon first listen.... oh, okay.....here you go: ARCANA MAJOR IS THE SHIZNIT!

Is it DA SHIT or what?!?!?!?! if enjoying Arcana Major is wrong, I don't want to be right.

There is no "best," but I voted for Ju Ju as a sentimental favorite. It was the first album of his as a leader that I ever heard and it blew me away.

Ok, you were right. Arcana Major is a fantastic disc.

Yes, you nailed it there. Show a little emotion Jurek, why doncha? I wonder now how Mr. Ware feels about that Grammy acceptance speech he prepared. Poor lug. I picture Ware chasing Jurek down the street bashing him repeatedly over the head with the most recent printed version of the AMG.

Arcana Major / Sonic Tarots Session arrived yesterday. I've got it on now and am looking forward to finally hearing the source of all the rave reviews a while back.

There is a new copy for sale on ebay now for $9.99 (same seller I bought mine from last year) and Jazz Loft has this in stock for $16.99.

great choice! I'll pull this one out and give it a listen at work tommorow.

Are you suggesting that Jurek's reviled because he's moonlighting at Dusty Groove? I thought I recognized a similarity! You have to respect, however, that he contained himself — there's no utterance, in the above review, of "Cool Beans!" I knew you were kidding, I just felt like being a wise-ass. B) I just wish he wouldn't be so afraid to get excited by a record once in a while. His reviews are all so understated.

Why is Thom Jurek reviled? "He glistens with excitement!" That has to be one of the most unpleasant mental images I've had conjured up by a thread, ever.

Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters tore off part of Chick's shirt, exposing his nipple.

Erik - Great idea! I'll have to browse the site tomorrow.

I agree 100%. His album, Black Water, is fantastic. I also really enjoy his playing on Vijay Iyer's discs.

A while back someone had asked about the Orchester 33 1/3 disc, I can't remember who it was. I recently had a chance to hear it and it is interesting, but not essential. I lucked out and found two Last Exit albums on vinyl for under $5 each the other day. I know have the self-titled album and Noise of Trouble (with Herbie Hancock? curious to hear how he fits into the mix) to explore this week. My favorite Joe Morris, so far, is Age of Everything, on Riti. I was very impreressed by Timo Shanko on bass.

updated, with price reductions.

I have LP copies of Live Evil, Nefertiti, You're Under Arrest and Man With the Horn for sale. I purchased Live Evil and Nefertiti new, opened them, and listened to each once. Man w/ the Horn and Under Arrest were purchased used and have a bit more wear to the sleeves (including a small price sticker on each sleeve) although the vinyl itself is in great condition. I'm really not sure what the going rate would be for any of these so, if you are interested in maing an offer or have questions about the exact conditions of any of the sleeves or vinyl drop me a PM or email me at johnbondvt@yahoo.com.

No limits.

What is the best deal that would also allow you to fulfill your obligation to buy one full price disc? Is there any "buy one get some # free deal" that comes around? I also got notification that BMG will be shipping the correct discs and I can keep the wrong ones I received earlier. Surprisingly, someone already picked up the Shakira disc when I listed it for sale.

I agree with a lot of what Randy has to say. This is a very pleasant disc that, upon first listen, does come accross as almost too polite. There are still some tracks that are just not too my taste but I am appreciating the disc more each time I listen to it. I'll post more specific thoughts in a day or two. After that, if someone else wants to give the disc a spin I'd be happy to share it with someone else on the board.

Tom - my condolences to you and your family.

I have a copy of Chick Corea's five disc box set Music Forever and Beyond for sale. It has been played once and everything is in near-mint condition. $28 plus $5 shipping in the U.S. $8 shipping internationally. Checks, money orders, Paypal and well-concealed cash are all fine. PM me if you have any questions, thanks!
